DIY Website Reviews the Show: Cyro Baptista, Le Poisson Rouge, NY

Cyro Baptistaﾒs show begins with an eerie whirring noise, generated by flexible tubes spun by the ten or twelve members of his band Beat The Donkey. Baptista enters slowly, dressed in a flamboyant wizardly robe, and begins intoning chant-like syllables into the microphone. After a few seconds, the lights go up and the show starts in earnest, with Baptista and his band delivering their trademark blend of exuberant silliness and percussive virtuosity. Even without the wizard robe, though, Baptista comes off less as a bandleader and more as a Puckish magical spirit, marshaling the fantastical forces of his minions with glee and caprice.

New Yo Yo Ma Holiday Album features Cyro
Last June, Cyro went into the studio to record on Yo Yo Ma's Holiday album. The track featured the legendary Dave Brubeck on piano and his son Matt Brubeck on cello.

The 4 musicians recorded Matt Brubeck's arrangement of Concordia - one of the highlights on an album that is truly great from start to finish.

Yo Yo Ma and Friend's "Songs of Joy and Peace" is out now on Sony Records!

You can watch a clip of the recording process here:
